Top tips for renting a car in Preston

  • Preston is a gem tucked away in the north west of England, offering plenty to do and see both in the city centre and further out. However, the best way to see the sites is with your own vehicle, saving you time waiting for public transport or money paying for taxis. By booking car hire in Preston through KAYAK, you can find the perfect car for your trip and discover everything the city and surrounding area has to offer.​ This includes hidden gems such as Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary and the Avenham and Miller Parks, that are easily accessible by car.
  • Preston's convenient location means it sits close to two major UK airports: Liverpool Airport LPL (30 miles away) and Manchester Airport MAN (33 miles away) where you can collect your car. You can also find plenty of car hire locations in the heart of Preston, dotted around the city that is dominated by the vibrant University of Central Lancashire. These are ideally located for making your journey as easy as possible, offering close links with Preston’s railway station and the number of major motorways nearby that take you to cities like Manchester, Liverpool, and the rest of the United Kingdom.
  • Driving around Preston is relatively straightforward, so there is nothing major to worry about. However, if heading into the city centre, particularly near the railway station, you need to be careful: local authorities have implemented a number of measures to help with congestion including one way streets, no right turns, and parking limitations. As when visiting any city, plan your journey well beforehand and be alert to road signs with your Preston car hire.
  • Rush hour, from 8:00 to 10:00 in the morning and 17:00 to 19:00 in the afternoon, is the busiest time for Preston’s streets, so avoid driving at these times if possible at all. If you find yourself in traffic, don’t think about taking advantage of a free bus lane: this is one of the most common ways that local people land themselves with fines so is something you should be careful to avoid.
  • Book your rental car in Preston at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Preston are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average

A male staff member was very curt when I asked a question regarding an additional cost . Was not friendly and came across quite arrogant. The woman at the desk was very nice and professional. Outside of the car was not clean . They apologized that their car wash was not working but would have appreciated maybe a free coffee voucher or something !
